SFDF
SAMSUNG FASHION & DESIGN FUND

Launched in 2005, the Samsung Fashion & Design Fund (SFDF) aims to discover and nurture promising young Korean designers active on the global stage. This aligns with Samsung’s core philosophy of contributing to human development by nurturing talent.

By selecting exceptional creators through rigorous standards, SFDF provides a robust foundation for them to fully unleash their potential. This is a meaningful step toward generating future value for the fashion industry and contributing to the advancement of creative arts and culture.

In today’s borderless fashion landscape, Korea has become a powerful source of inspiration that sets new trends. K-Fashion—a seamless blend of Korea’s unique aesthetic values and global sensibilities—is a universal benchmark of beauty celebrated worldwide.

SFDF spotlights young creators who fuse this unique heritage with modern perspectives to forge their own distinct worlds. As these outstanding designers write new narratives on the global fashion stage, SFDF will be there to accompany them at the beginning of their brilliant journey

In the fiercely competitive global fashion market, SFDF offers practical and multifaceted support so that new designers with original visions can focus entirely on their creative pursuits.

Since 2005, SFDF alumni have achieved remarkable growth on the world stage, proving the fund’s value and prestige. Moving forward, SFDF will apply even more elevated evaluation standards, bestowing its honor and full sponsorship exclusively upon designers who demonstrate unrivaled capabilities that meet global standards. Through this, SFDF will expand its horizons by discovering multi-disciplinary creative talents who transcend the boundaries of fashion, art, architecture, and lifestyle.

The SFDF symbol represents the brilliant talent of Korean designers expanding into the global market and the steadfast support of the fund that empowers them.

Harmonizing with the core values of the Samsung C&T Fashion Group, the symbol embodies our enduring commitment to professional and passionate sponsorship of creative artistry as a leading fashion enterprise.
